As a fellow Bakersfieldian, I know well what your poem says. Bakersfield plays a central role in my novel "The Dead Of Winter" and I try in a different way to describe the Tule Fog on 166, just past Maricopa. Fog is deep, isn't it -- as a reality and as a symbol. You've done well.
Oh dear, Judith, you must have to make that nightmare morning commute down I-5 into Seattle every day! Very well written...and, don't we have just the most beautiful State in the Union! Indeed, we do. I live on the Olympic Peninsula, about 30 minutes from Bremerton or Port Orchard. Perhaps we can meet sometime. In the interim, visit my A/D pages when you have time and get to know me.
Like Elizabeth, I like walking in fog...but driving in it...nope.
Nice write here...it captured internal and external stress of driving in such weather.
This exceptional book, Celebrating the Gift of Being Alive, has the perfect thoughts and words for birthdays, graduations, engagements, marriages, and any life celebration or family tradition.
Reflections and Nature Watercolors is a collection of Margaret's spontaneous positive thoughts in celebrating and reflecting on life and her nature watercolors.
A second reading here put me into the ontological deepness of this LITTLE-GRAND poem, "Morning Thoughts". It is a philosophical-poetic magnificence.
Keep posting, Poet!
